Another (probably boringly long) flight video

Hangar 9 of the USA produced this Denight 50 Special ARF, a superb model airplane which I have powered with my OS Max 56 FS 4-stroke engine...a bit small for this plane but still pulls it wonderfully. The Denight is no longer in production...too bad as this is just a beautiful scale model, a replica of a stunt plane from back in the 1950-s of the US of A.

I shot a video today with a keychain camera fixed to the left wing root...the video gets a bit dizzy towards the end as the Velcro tape itself does not maintain proper fixture throughout a 12 minutes flight with all the amateusrish acrobatics I performed. A rubber band will be added as additional fixture tomorrow.

Just in case you are interested and have the 12 minutes available (or just fast-forward if you are bored), you can see it here:

Thanks Andras, glad you're getting some flying time. Pretty blue skies and a great looking place to fly. Those 4 strokers are pretty sweet.

Thanks Rusty,

this is a hobby parachuters' airfield near to our lakehouse at Balaton (the largest lake in Central Europe luckily within 100km from my residence in Budapest) with lots of owls, eagles and other birds of pray that hunt on the ground squirrels and other rodents. (That, in defense, dig millions of holes in the ground just to make sure many of my taxiing end up with nose overs -an encounter of technology with nature)

Fantastically idyllic setting for flying planes, and given the distance from the hangars and buildings nearby I can afford flying my un-muffled COX planes too, without causing too many eyebrows to rise.

I hope you have the same wonderful weather and flying time accross the Atlantic.

Thanks getback and roddie

do not be misled, model airfields where you may fly bigger R/C or free-flight planes are rather rare here, or not easy to access. Some of the official model airfileds only allow electric motor driven planes.

The one I use near my residence in Budapest is an abandoned field behind a large shopping mall in the outskirts of town where some of us are volunteering to mow the grass on the runway sometimes and stand the looks of people walking their dogs while our noisy, greasy and - all the same - beloved R/C planes are flown to their horror..

I even tend to detach from others with muffled engines when I fly COX as this is just considered too exotic and maybe annoyingly noisy here. So I am just a lone wolf when I fly COX engines.

This is why I appreciate sharing my "geographically segregated" COX obsession with you guys around the world and in the US in particular.
